Honoring Choices is promoting Advance Care Planning in both state and federal legislative bodies. In a recent visit to Washington DC, CEO Sue Schettle and Director of Program Operations Karen Peterson met with staff from Congresswoman Betty McCollum's office (shown in picture) and Senator Amy Klobuchar's office. National awareness of the importance of ACP is growing and Minnesota officials are eager for updates about what is happening in their home state.

Locally, bills have been introduced in the Minnesota House and Senate. Senate files 407 and 410 and the companion House files 970 and 971 are being discussed in committee currently. The bills will provide state support for communities throughout the state seeking to start ACP programs in their area. Updates will be sent as progress is made, and the status of any bill can be found by visiting the MN Senate or MN House wesbites.
